    All 32 counties of Ireland are like a seaside town.

    I wonder if many of ye have actually been to any of these places or are you just listening to the media?

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    There's a small enough area near landsdowne road that certainly qualifies.

    The majority of Blanchardstown is actually really nice and definitely not a kip (Coolmine/Roselawn/Blanchardstown Village/Clonsilla/Ongar/etc)
    the same can't be said for areas like Finglas/Ballymun. There are a small few areas like Whitestown and Sheepmoor that give the whole of Blanchardstown a bad name but anyway it is much too large a suburb to be classed as anything either way.

    In all fairness we do have some awfull kips in this country. Its fact, nothing to do with bashing the country. Every square inch of dublin city for instance, Its like a rotten scumy puss filled sore. I nearly puked at the sight of the pale sick looking scar faced junkies on o'connell st when i had the misfortune of being up there for iron maiden recently.

    Yes they are. "Landlocked" means no coastline onto the sea. Lakes don't count.

    Swords, but I'm biased 'cause I live here.
    It's a hole unto itself. Like The Quiet Man meets The Children of The Corn by way of twice monthly Wickerman-type ceromonies in the local park subbing a wheaten effegy for a Nissan Micra.
    One of my neighbours got the Deliverence treatment in an assault just down the road from my house not even 24 hours ago.
    The neighbourhood watch squad of which I'm a honorary member of rubbernecked it like Daniel O' Donnel came to town when an ambulence, a squad car and a fecking fire truck of all things came whizzing down the road.

    Ahhhh.

    Small towns.

    I never said anything about landlocked counties. I did however say that there are 13 counties without a coastline. The counties with coastlines in Ireland are: Donegal, Derry, Antrim, Down, Louth, Meath, Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Kerry, Clare, Galway, Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim.

    You could argue that Limerick doesn't have a coastline, but much of the north of county Limerick is on the Shannon estuary, which leads into the Atlantic Ocean.

    I grew up and lived in balbriggan my whole life, The town used to be lovely. Then around 1995 Balbriggan got picked for social housing, So we have all walks of life now...There is one area myself and my friends call it "The Hood" The whole area around where Dunnes Stores is.

    This area in my opinion (and many others i know...many!) is a dump, There used to be lovely fields there, now millions of poorly buily houses and apartments. For "multi cultural balbriggan" and social housing....god how i'd love a helicopter and some napalm :pac:
